Question: what is the happiest musical instrument?

I donโ€™t think a guitar is particularly happy. By itself, it generates awe, not joy. What about the drums? The drums make me move, but I donโ€™t know if they make me happy. I suppose one could pick esoteric instruments like the banjo or the tin whistle, they're certainly happy instruments, but they have limited use.

The answer is, undoubtedly, the #piano. As evidence, I offer you #ProfessorLonghair (๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ข๐—ฟ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ฃ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ผ, #222). (cont). #music

โ€œIโ€™m an advocate for this incredible #concerto. The #piano writing is full of #blues material (it begins right away with tremolo figurations from #JamesBooker or #ProfessorLonghair) but the general context is #post-Bartรณk #dissonance and drive.โ€ open.substack.com/pub/iverson/... #music #MusicSky
